New CharacterBody2D and 3D script templates in GDScript for Redot beginners.

[TheRealBlackNet]

added 4 new scripts for starters to begin better in 3D (1x) and 2D (3x)

• CharacterBody3DFps: Arrow keys for movement and space for jump and double jump detects a Camera3D as child node and uses it to turn the CharacterBody3D
• CharacterBody2DTopDownTank: implements a tank movement arrowkeys for movement and turning
• CharacterBody2DJumpAndRun improved version with double jump, arrow keys and space bar for movement (arrow up as jump)
• CharacterBody2DTopDown 8 direction movement for top down adventure

A look into \redot-engine\editor\editor_settings.cpp line 1725 method "get_script_templates" loads all scripts by folder name and push it into a vector. So the new scripts should load without anymore changes.

I have no objection to this being added, as i think it would ease the entry for new users.

We could instead have a library of templates?

@rhbollinger1s
A template library is a great idea too, but this is just a change on the default scripts for a node type in the editor.
The current one giving a very basic 2d template in the moment even you select a 3d game without any camera movement.

Would love like C#\XNA Visial Studio did back in 2000-2010 to have a "New Project by Template..." then you were able to select some little templates (Shooter\Jump and Run\Cardgame). I support everything that will help beignners to get into development.

I don't know why this has not been approved yet. I used to be in the staff discord on my old account, but then I removed everything linked to Microsoft, but if I did, I would try and push for it there.
